Tongzilla,

Checkout...any of the Tomasello videos...Jodie Mudd's swing sequence on Brian's website...watch Ernie Els(If you don't believe me just read his book "How to Build a Classic Golf Swing")....watch Retief Goosen...

The Right Arm Swing looks like any good solid on plane golf swing...there NOTHING unusual about it in appearance...

Once Bagger and Trig get the latest video of Tomasello up and running you will be able to see Tommy swing with this approach...it's the approach I'm using...instead of sweep loading like Tomasell uses, I use Snap Loading.

Ernie Els is a great Swinger, but not a Right Arm Swinger. His Stroke Center is the Left Shoulder which gives a much longer Swing Radius.

Why is Els not a Right Arm Swinger? Because his Stroke Center is not the Right Elbow! So by definition he isn't a Right Arm Swinger.

Look at Els' Impact here:

Anyone who thinks his Stroke Center is the Right Elbow, please put your hand up!

Anyone who didn't raise their hand, and still thinks Els is using a Right Arm Swing -- you don't know what's a Right Arm Swing!

Tongzilla,

Wait until you see the Tomasello video??? Especially when Tomasello talks about illusions!!!

Time Out
 

All right, guys. things are getting a little heated here. This thread is locked until we put the Tomasello-Dietrick Video up.

The video's are up and this thread is reopened for business.

DG,

Now that the video is up and we've had a chance to review it, Lynn posted that it is a left arm swing with the "magic of the right forearm". Do you agree?

Black Magic
 

It's a faulty left arm swing by default, because it isn't a right arm swing nor a hitting procedure. There is no initial shoulder thrust, but rather the right hand is moving the left arm. The hands are overaccelerating causing #4 accumulator throwaway and there is wristcock throwaway.

Miz,

Your points are clear on the Tomasello thread. Understood that you don't care for Tom's teaching. I want to keep this thread focused.
I started this thread to clear up confusion over the Right Arm Swing. DG has positioned that he uses it and uses Tom's teaching as a proof point. We posted the video and are now getting back to the subject.
I appreciate a variety of opinions as long as it doesn't get personal, for clarification we typically look to the book for the truth of the matter. In this case, we are seeking the truth in the Right Arm Swing.

Thanks,

Bagger

Bagger, thanks for you efforts.

I am not sure asking a question here or in the other thread is wise, but I will say this, it is quite confusing IMO the words being applied and the actions being done.

I understood the concept of 'feel' or 'feels like'.

From the parts I could quickly pick up on, what I say would best be described in TGM terms and a swinging motion, including the alignments during the stroke.

Without invoking the Tomasello video, what is the 'right arm swing' and how is it mapped to TGM?

Am I correct this is not a hitting stroke?

I answered a question you asked("Do you agree?"), on the subject of the thread(Right Arm Swing/Latest Tomasello video), and in a non-personal way.:???:
